Great vid! You certainly have a great eye for spotting the fake Pops. I would have loved to have seen you telling the vendor that they had these fake Pops for sale to see their reaction. That would have made for a great vid! I would love that Ahsoka! Then again there were some of the Spidey Pops I would like as well!
They were busy talking to some people when I was filming so I just went around the show and warned everyone I saw who was looking at pops to not buy from them. I also informed several of the other vendors.
I don't know why once you saw the fake pops being sold by the vender why you kept looking at there stock and giving them time in your video. It seems very irresponsible.
@@TheLost_and_Tony they still had some legit fire pops and John did what he could to warn other buyers about the fake pop. He is very far from irresponsible. Thanks and have a nice day!
Not usually, most vendors I've told in the past have been rude & proceed to try to sell them. Instead I usually tell anyone I see looking to buy pops at that particular booth to beware of the certain fakes, like I did at this show.
I still need that clonetrooper, have not ran into it yet, and also don’t know weather to pick up the blue box or go for the slightly cheaper black box version 😅
Yup that’s me I want Golden Frieza!✋🏼 This show was amazing! Everything was very well priced. After everyone sees this they are going to need a bigger space!
Color, box art, discoloration, stickers. I have a playlist for real vs fake on my channel feel free to check it out so it never happens to you. Thanks so much for watching.
Fun show, i like seeing the walking dead pops. Those are what started me collecting, i did not have the disposable income at the time and missed out on a lot of the high end ones so enjoy seeing them. I did get michonne and her pets about a year and a half ago 😊

Out of curiosity, do you notify the vendor that certain pops are not authentic? I’m sure no one there was purposefully selling fakes, but I’d hate for someone to buy one thinking they are authentic.
Yes i told some vendors they had fake pops, and they did not care. Word spread quickly as it was a small show and it went around not to buy those items.
@@Slapshotpops at least you tried. I’d be more than thankful for someone like you that identifies fakes, for people like me that are really not sure. I’d love to see a video on how you knew this was fake. Not that I don’t believe you or anything, but it would be interesting content for future purchases.
Those fake pops are pretty disturbing. Hopefully someone wasn’t about to be ripped off. Can you speak on what gave them away and how you were able to spot them so quickly? How common is this?
I know this is a year later, but… on the blue crystal Heisenberg, the con sticker was way off-center; and on the Star Wars one, the font used in the text at the bottom of the box looked wrong. Those are the only two I remember off the top of my head, but those were the red flags that stood out to me 🤷🏻♂️
Probably, yes. That’s why they’re trying to sell them. Unless they really don’t know very much about Funko, which I doubt since they have that many high end pieces.
Those ones that I called out are very commonly faked pops nowadays. We’ve seen dozens and know the tell-tale signs, like the sticker, box fading, off coloring of the pop. Stuff like that.
I really need to start searching for some of these toy shows around the uk. Some great pops in this one, they defo have done some great vemonized pops, the miles the magneto, first time I have seen the green goblin though. It looks fantastic. I would have probably once’s again spent all my budget at booth one. Hahah power rangers and GOT NFTs
neeeed that golden anime dbz pop so much anime grails i NEED the anime grails they are just going up and up always slow but before u know it its like 300 or 100 😭😭😭😭😭
Sometimes people buy collections that contain fakes and if you aren’t a collector/experienced seller you either don’t know you have a fake or you know and you don’t care.
Sorry for the mishap with the end credits music towards the end of the video….was editing this one at 3am 🫠
It was the video telling you to wrap it up 🤣 jk
Great toy show video love to watch. Greetings
Thank you Francois!
I love seeing toy shows/cons with pops galore. 😊
So do I! They’re a ton of fun 🥳
So much fun to follow you on the convention. Amazing Ahsoka you picked up. I`m happy to have that one too. Thanks for another great video John. 👍🏼😃
Thank you so much for watching Norway 😄
Thanks sooooooooooooo much for coming by! I hope to see you at our next one next year in April !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for having us! Congrats on your first year.
Every time I go Pop hunting, I'll have to hire you to go with me because I'd probably miss those fakes without ya. lol! Awesome video!
I’d go pop hunting with you for free brother 😄

That 3rd booth was 🔥🔥, so many pops I would have picked up from them!
Thanks for watching.
The walking dead pops were fire. What a great variety of pops at this show. Thanks for showing us all
Thanks for wtching.
some nice pops and pick ups
Thanks A-Team!
I sure hope you called that vendor out for trying to sell fake pops

Lol love the music towards the end! Shows that even the best youtubers have edit hiccups! Love the videos as always nice hunt 🔥
Yes I apologize, I'm not sure why it moved when I was editing 🙄
@@Slapshotpops it’s okay! U guy’s work so hard this doesn’t change anything 💪 still going to have my support
@@ClippedByAdamthank you, that means so much!
Great video. Very informative. It’s amazing to me that you can spot those fakes so quickly.
After looking at pops for 10 years, the fakes stand out pretty quickly 😅
Man, that ending edit was funny. Probably Joana tired of hearing you talk about Ahsoka hahaha love the video like always
16:11 Curious when you spot them, do you tell the vendors that they are selling fake pops?
Not usually, most vendors I've told in the past have been rude & proceed to try to sell them. Instead I usually tell anyone I see looking to buy pops at that particular booth to beware of the certain fakes, like I did at this show.
Grats on 28k !
Thank you Mikey!
Awesome video as always! And you had some great pick ups. I still need to add the Ahsoka GITD pop into my Rebels collection before it spikes.
At 22:45 there’s really loud music. And I can’t make out what ur saying
I apologize, the end credit music shifted during editing for some reason 🤦🏻
That holographic Ashoka is awesome, I still need to pick that up. Bro, I have bought so many duplicate pops too because I forget what I have😂
Awesome RUclips video today on your RUclips channel today #slapshotpops.
Thanks Peter!
I love Oogie Boogie. I have to find that pop.
It’s an amazing pop!
I still need that clonetrooper, have not ran into it yet, and also don’t know weather to pick up the blue box or go for the slightly cheaper black box version 😅
I’d pick up the black box since they’re both the same pop. But hey, if you come across a blue box one for a good price, definitely grab it 😄
Yup that’s me I want Golden Frieza!✋🏼 This show was amazing! Everything was very well priced. After everyone sees this they are going to need a bigger space!
What makes it so easy to spot the fakes you saw?
Color, box art, discoloration, stickers. I have a playlist for real vs fake on my channel feel free to check it out so it never happens to you. Thanks so much for watching.

Hey that’s awesome Debbie! Maybe you can work up to getting some of the other ones over the next few years 😀
Hey John, are you going to pick up the max rebo Walmart exclusive?
Probably at some point yes!
How could you tell those pops were fake? Please do a video!!!

Stickers were awful lol
Darth Vader is very cool, I have one❤
That’s awesome!

Thanks!
Do you think they know those Pops are fake?
Probably, yes. That’s why they’re trying to sell them. Unless they really don’t know very much about Funko, which I doubt since they have that many high end pieces.
@SlapShotPops that's why we like watching your channel. You know what's real and fake😁
Please do a review of ashoka ep. 1 and 2
If I had the extra time I would gladly do it!
The Leonidas Pop was also fake the “M” on the movies is a dead giveaway
Yeah, I figured as much. I’m sure most of that table was fake unfortunately
How did you know that some of the funkos were fake?
Those ones that I called out are very commonly faked pops nowadays. We’ve seen dozens and know the tell-tale signs, like the sticker, box fading, off coloring of the pop. Stuff like that.
😎
And I’ll be the one to say it. Sticker centering was WAY off
Oh absolutely!
That years NYC sticker is faked alot haven't seen many but that one seems to be the most heavily faked one
I really need to start searching for some of these toy shows around the uk. Some great pops in this one, they defo have done some great vemonized pops, the miles the magneto, first time I have seen the green goblin though. It looks fantastic. I would have probably once’s again spent all my budget at booth one. Hahah power rangers and GOT NFTs
How can you tell they’re fake?
I’ll explain in a future video
How did you know those were fake John? FPP!
Between the color, lettering, discoloration, shadows and shotty paint there is a few things you can go by.
Great toy show but sad there's vendors willing to rip people off.
It is sad for sure 😥
Shoulda got the wwe sasha banks ! Aka koska reeves from mando :P
I should have! Maybe next time 🥳
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa
Woohooo!
Wow why people were selling fakes at this ToyCon that's sad. Not right at all🙁
No, unfortunately not 😥
neeeed that golden anime dbz pop so much anime grails i NEED the anime grails they are just going up and up always slow but before u know it its like 300 or 100 😭😭😭😭😭
Would be helpful to point out why it’s obviously fake.
We have a playlist on the channel labeled Real vs Fake. Where we point out common reasons why.
Why were there so many fakes at that one booth? @slapshotpops
Sometimes people buy collections that contain fakes and if you aren’t a collector/experienced seller you either don’t know you have a fake or you know and you don’t care.
